I'm having a strange problem with my computer. We recently moved to a new area where it get's pretty hot and I noticed that my computer will lock up after about 5 minutes in the afternoon and evening. At first I thought it was a software problem so I reformatted and re-installed. But the probelm is still there. In the morning the computer works fine. The temp in the room can get up to about 90 degrees but that's about it. The computer has 3 fans (CPU, Power source, and 1 case)and neither the MB or CPU heat sink ever become too hot to touch. So I'm lost. I've seen computers operate in much hrasher comditions and almost have internal melt downs but still run. Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks
